And any plans you might have in Minnesota for a January playoff home game can be, at the least, put in erasable pen, unless somehow you think Jordan Love can force-of-will the Packers to nine wins (ha!) and no one else gets there.
Because we have an illicit gambling ring which has centered on the Lions last year.
Five players have been banned by the NFL for various periods of time due to gambling considerations:
- Lions: Quinten Cephez has been thrown out of the league, banned "indefinitely"/"for life".
- Lions: CJ Moore has gotten the same penalty.
- An investigation has established both players gambled on the NFL last year.
- Detroit has fired both players.
- Lions: 2022 first-round pick Jameson Williams has been banned six games.
- Lions: Stanley Berrihill will also sit six.
- The investigation found that, though they broke the rules on mobile-betting by players and on NFL property, they did not bet on NFL games.
- They have not been fired.
- Several members of the Lions staff have ALSO been fired, same violations!
- The Lions organization will receive at least a $250,000 fine from this, simply from the Club Remittance Policy
- Washington Commanders: Shaka Toney has also been banned from the NFL for life for illegal gambling.
The Lions lost five of their eight losses last year by one score. None played heavily for the Lions last year, but you can't tell me that, on a team where one play seemed to snakebite this team time and again, that something wasn't going on.
And the NFL can't tell you the truth -- because if it actually investigates only the portion of match-fixing which falls outside league rules and parameters, they're probably going to find out this is going on all over the league, especially with the advent of legalized betting in many states!
Anyone else beginning to think California voters had the right idea?
The NFL will deny all day and into the night the obvious connotation, and did in this announce
